Arm surgery ends Badgers NT Olive Sagapolu's season

Wisconsin will be without nose tackle Olive Sagapolu for the rest of the season, and possibly without quarterback Alex Hornibrook for Saturday's game at Penn State.

Sagapolu, a senior who has started games in each of the past four years and became a full-time starter in 2017, underwent season-ending surgery for a right arm injury suffered during an Oct. 27 loss at Northwestern. His college career is over with 26 starts and 44 game appearances. Freshman Bryson Williams started in place of Sagapolu last week against Rutgers and will get the nod again at Penn State.
